Hi...i feel for you, honestly i do. Is it just a general feeling of anxiety or something more specific? The mere fact that this is a relapse should give you hope...you've been through this before and come out winning on the other side...you can sure as hell do it again!
What do you mean that it affects the way that you think about eyes and hand movement? Can you give some more detail?
At the heart of this its important to remember that whatever it is that is making you anxious is just a negative thought...none of it is going to materialise. Its awful scary but you are still in control of how you react to the fear. Imagine you were faced with a large aggressive dog. You'd be scared sure but you'd still have a choice in how you reacted to that fear...do you run away? fight? try and talk it down? offer it some chocolate??!!?? Pretend to be a bigger dog? So even in fear we can react differently and make our own choice. If you relax with your fear, breathe deep, CHOOSE to sit it out it will become apparant that there is nothing to fear, none of the things you are afraid of are going to happen. Its very tough, true, but it is achievable...you've done it before!

Best of luck
